"Puccini for Beginners" is a 2006 romantic comedy film written and directed by Maria Maggenti.
Allegra has a bit of a problem. Her lesbian lover Samantha has just returned to her old boyfriend because Allegra could not say "I Love you." Shortly thereafter Allegra meets Philip. She finds herself attracted and, against her better judgment, she starts having an affair with heaven forbid--a man! Philip is in a dead end relationship with his girlfriend Grace. Philip decides to break up with Grace and follow his heart and be with Allegra. Grace is heartbroken and coincidentally meets Allegra and starts dating her as well. So both Philip and Grace without knowing it are both dating Allegra. Juggling both relationships that are advancing way too quickly, Allegra lands in hot water that boils over into an explosive climax for all.
"Puccini for Beginners" debuted at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
